For a little while spring here smelled like spring... you know: grass, dirt, fresh things, maybe some nice clean rain. That lasted about a week. Then spring smelled like cow manure and burnt stuff. The farmers burn off the stumps and roots of last year's crop before they turn the soil. The homeowners rake their years and burn all the dead wintry debris.
Also, mayflies are a real creature that likes to swarm around anything living. And the mosquitoes are coming out to play.
And yesterday..... there were snow flurries! WTFBBQ!
I still love spring though.
Not all those who wander are lost...

Mmmmmm. Manure flurries. Mmmmm.
Must to go rake my years now.
I read in AARP newsletter that 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar in a glass of water will discourage flies--I suppose you'd have to carry the glass of water around with you--could be a problem! And crushed mint or lavender oil on wrists & elbows help for repelling mosquitoes.
Snow. ick!
